Another high condition pre-64 '94 you might like is this one:

Thanks Tmitch. There's a lot I need to learn. I don't know what to look for as far as bluing is concerned. Had I just gone with my gut, I'd have guessed the one in the listing you mentioned for sure had been refinished, but they list it as "original bluing".
